General Notes:
"Sir David Stewart received a charter of the Lordship of Durrisdeer in 1431, and a charter, dated 11th May 1423, in which he had received the Lordship of Lucheld, in Fife, from Sir William Lindsay of Rossy. In Perthshire he held the lands of Crob, Buchondy, and Laidgreen (Ladegreven). He was knighted at the coronation of King James I. By charter, dated 17th October 1425, at Perth, from the King, he received the lands of Pitreavie. He resigned certain lands, by charter dated at Inverness, 24th August 1428, and appears to have received the Barony of Rosyth. He is probably the 'generous and upright knight, Sir David Stewart of Rossissi,' at whose request Walter Bower, the continuator of Fordun's Chronicle, wrote the vellum manuscript preserved in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, and dated 7th November 1440. In 1436-37 King James I. confirmed the charter of Sir David Stewart of Rosyth, to Henry Wardlaw, of the lands of Pitreavie and the third part of the lands of Fordel. Sir David also held Cragy Gerpot, Wester Cleish, in Fife, and Kershaw in Clackmannan. He died in 1444, leaving issue"
